Abstract
Apollo VIII tracking data have been analyzed to obtain new evidence for a mascon in the neighborhood of Sinus Aestuum. Data from elliptical and nearly circular lunar orbits of Apollo VIII can be interpreted in terms of a mascon in this region at a depth of approximately 100 km which has a mass on the order of 5 × 10 −6 lunar masses and gives rise to a gravitational anomaly at the lunar surface of roughly 250 mgals.
